spidermike007 Posted June 19, 2018 Share Posted June 19, 2018 Has anyone seen all of the work that is being done on the elevated speed train from Bangkok to Korat? Pretty impressive. Hope they keep up the pace. This is all good for the future of Thailand. If they can replicate the success they have had in Bangkok, with the skytrain, and the MRT, elsewhere with high speed trains, it would change the country. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The station will be in Bang Pa-In and doubt it will be connected by other rail system to Bangkok. I wonder why they didn't think of integrating with the rail system. They always don't seem to plan with integration with other transport system in mind. Even the tollway don't reach Bang Pa-in and kind of stop weirdly after Future Rangsit.

bluesofa Posted June 25, 2018 Share Posted June 25, 2018 (edited) I see there's more confusing news on this project. Despite being told in this thread the construction is under-way already (near Korat/Khon Kaen), today there's yet another article. This one is: Bids Sought for $5.5 Billion Thailand to China High-Speed Rail - "The bidder will build the first half of the network in Thailand, Minister of Transport Arkhom Termpittayapaisith said" If bids are soon to start, how can construction be under-way already?
